Driver Distributors & DKMS - Futures

Matt Domsch (matt_domsch@dell.com)

DKMS - Dynamic Kernel Module Support, lets you replace kernel modules without upgrading your whole kernel.  This BOF will gather interested device driver developers, and driver distributors (hardware companies, OS distributions, individual driver developers) to discuss the state of the project, and its futures.  What other changes/features are needed to increase adoption of DKMS? What other tools/infrastructure would be helpful to increase the timeliness of merging drivers into kernel.org, while making backports of those drivers available for distro use?
